READY WAY TO METRIC WEIGHTS. 

I. Grains, or Minims, multiplied by 6^ give Centi- 
grams. Example: 20 grains=130 centigrams, or 1 gram 
and 30 centigrams, expressed thus, 1.30. 

II. Drachms (fluid or dry), multiplied by 4 give grams. 
Example: 3 drachms=12 grams, expressed thus, 12. 

III. Ounces (fluid or dry), multiplied by 32 give grams. 
Example: 4 ounces=128 grams, expressed thus, 128. 

READY WAY FROM METRIC WEIGHTS. 

I. Centigrams divided by 6J^ equal grains or minims. 

II. Grams divided by 4 equal drachms (fluid or dry). 

III. Grams divided by 32 equal ounces (fluid or dry). 

EXCEPTIONS. 

These Rules do not give the exact values, but they are 
near enough for all practical purposes. See page 98. 
You get less of a drug, usually prescribed in grains or 
minims, at a dose when employing these metric rules 
than in the old way ; but it is the merest fraction of a 
grain or minim less. 

I. For Syrups and Glycerines add ^3 more. Example: 
4 ounces of syrup of rhubarb equal 128 grams plus 42 
grams (the extra $£), or 170 grams. 

II. Chloroform, Essential Oils, Honey and Liquid 
Acids must not be prescribed by these rules. Specific

Gravities. Chloroform, 1.49; ol. bitter almonds, 1.05; oL 
cinnamon, 1.03; ol. turpentine, 0.864; ol. sweet almonds, 
olive, linseed, castor and codliver from 0.91 to 0.95. Acid 
hydrochlo., 1.27; nitric, 1.52; sulphuric, 1.85; acetic, 1.06;. 
tar, 1.15. 

As liquids are usually dispensed by our American 
druggists in graduates marked by the gram measure of 
ordinary tinctures, no attention need be paid to the 
differences of specific gravities given above, or the 
prescription blanks, as we furnish them, could have it 
specially stated upon them that " all liquids are con~ 
sidered of the sp. gr. of water." 

A METRIC POINT. 
Since using the metric system in prescribing, we have 
"stumbled," as it were, upon the following handy 
method of "dosing" a drug. It is as follows:— When 
making use of a two-ounce mixture, remember that the 
number of grams ordered of any medicament should be- 
exactly the dose in minims or grains of the medicine. 
In other words, write (for a two-ounce mixture) the same 
number of grams of a remedy that you wish grains or 
minims administered. This is a very remarkable co-in- 
cidence, and reduces metric prescription-writing to a 
play spell, as no arithmetical calculation is needed to 
properly apportion the quantity of a drug after once 
knowing its dose in grains and minims. 

As an example : Say you wish to give one minim of 
belladonna, fluid extract; two minims of nux vomica, 
fluid extract; and eight grains of bromide of potash at a 
dose. It would be written thus:— 

# Grams. 

Fl. Ext. Belladonnae ... 1 
Fl. Ext. Nucis Vomicae . . 2 

Potassii Bromidi . . 8 

Aqua3 Menth. pip., q. s., ad., . 61 
You thus virtually substitute grames for minims and 
grains, and that is the end of the matter. 

If you wish to order a four-ounce mixture, you simply 
write double the quantity of grams that the dose of 
the remedy is in grains or minims. 

Reduce these doses to Metric terms by multiplying 
Grains or Minims by 6^, giving Centigrams : drachms by 
4, giving Grams : Ounces by 32, giving Grams. 



PHYSICIAN'S POCKET DAY-BOOK. 

Post-paid, $1.00 ; with your name on side in gold leaf, $1,25 \ 
name, town and State, $1,50. 



This edition contains no printed matter (many physicians re- 

auesting su<;h, preferring the Dose Book bound by itself). It is 
aree and tl: ree-fourths by seven and one-fourth inches in size, and 
is bound in full Russia leather, with flap, pocket, pencil-loop, red 
edges and gilt side stamp. The regular price of such a styled book is 
from $1.50 to $2.00. I desire it shall be the most complete, best 
gotten up. cheapest and lightest day-book for physicians' use ever 
issued. If is large enough to cany ordinary bills without folding, 
and also a full supply of prescription blanks, etc. It is so arranged 
that it will accommodate daily charges for forty families per 
week, with a separate column for weekly credits for the entire 
year ; or daily charges for twenty families per week, with daily 
credits for the entire year. Besides the Dr. and Cr. columns to 
each name, there is also one for ledger page (if the ordinary ledger 
instead of my ledger [page 111] is used), and one each for Discount, 
Total Dr., Total Cr., and Balance Due. You can "post" every ten 
days, or every month. There is a complete record for ninety-six 
obstetrical cases, and a monthly memoranda for a Dr. and Cr. 
cash account. It is good for one year from the first of any month. 
It is so arranged that the family name needs to be written but 
once during the entire month, if your practice is small, or at most 
but three times ; the rest of the account-keeping being in figures, 
the amount of your daily charges. Accounts can be kept in one* 
fifth the usual time required by other methods.

LIST OF DOSES. 



Decoctions, infusions, and waters have, for the most 
part, been omitted ; they will be found classified at the 
end of the dose-list. D^ses enclosed in [ ] are emetic. 
Doses or preparations in ( ) are to be used with great 
caution. 

Preparations preceded by a t are non-officinal though 
most of them are in common use. 

Parke, Davis and Co., Manufacturing Chemists, Detroit, 
make all preparations in this list followed by a $. 

The last dose is the maximum given and is too large 
for general use. 

The letter / has been omitted from before the sign of 
fluid-drachm and fluid-ounce. 

Where, alphabetically, the first preparation of a drug 
throws the drug-name into the genitive form, it has been 
so written ; the other preparations following under that 
head : so also in regard to the nominative ; any change to 
the nominative or genitive, as the case may require, will 
be patent to the reader.

MEDICATED 

AND 

Flavored Lozenges. 



Lozenges are of use in pharyngeal troubles that yield to 
ordinary medication. By being slowly dissolved, the 
medicament they contain is brought into contact with the 
diseased mucous membranes, and hence a beneficial influ- 
ence, local as well as general, is exerted. In this respect 
they are of inestimable value to public speakers, teachers, 
singers, etc., as they are handy to carry about the person. 
In certain diseases of children, in worms, dyspepsia, and in 
cases where it is desirable to carry the remedy about the 
person (as with travelers), too, the Lozenge is a useful 
form for a medicament. 

Among the fifty varieties named in our Price List will 
be found many admirable and useful formulae.

Empty Gelatine Capsules 



We desire to call your attention to our IMPROVED 
EMPTY GELATINE CAPSULES, which we 
now manufa cture on an extensive scale. A separate and 
independe nt branch of our Laboratory, employing a large 
number of employes, and costly patented apparatus, is 
devoted exclusively to the manufacture of these articles, 
enabling us to supply them in any quantity, and at lowest 
prices. 

Our Capsules are now manufactured by means of 
Improved apparatus, producing the most accurate and 
unvarying results. The gelatine employed is of finest 
quality, which, in our hands, undergoes a certain process, 
which increases its transparency and elasticity. Through 
these improvements in apparatus and material, we are 
enabled to manufacture Capsules which are uniformly 
accurate, transparent, elastic and permanent, in which 
properties they are excelled by none sold in the United 
States or Europe. 

We make five different sizes, which we describe as 
follows : 
No. 0— Largest - length closed, 9-10 in Jdianieter, 5-20 in. 

- 1— Medium large— " 
No. 2— Medium— " 

No. &— Medium small— " 
No. 4— Smallest- " 

Soliciting your valued patronage, we remain, 

Respectfully,

PHARMACEUTICALS. 

)o( 

We manufacture a full line of 

ELEGANT PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS, 

—INCLUDING — 

SOLID EXTRACTS, CONCENTRATIONS, 

PINK GRANULES, SPECIFIC TINCTURES, 

ELIXIRS, WINES and SYRUPS, 

Granular Effgrvesoent Preparations, 

Medicated Lozenges, Plasters, Collodions, Cerates, 
Confections, Etc. 

Among other specialties worthy of particular notice, we 
would mention 

PBPSINE, 

Prepared with the greatest care. It contains the tnie 
digestive principle of the stomach of the hog, combined 
with sugar of milk, in such proportion that each grain 
represents fifty grains of human gastric juice. 

LACTATED PEP3INE. 

A combination of the peptic principle of gastric juice with 
other trustworthy digestive agents. It is meeting with a 
large sale. 

Extract of Malt, 

Alone, and in combination with other well-known reme- 
dies. Our Malt Preparations are giving general satis- 
faction. They are made from the best Canada barley malt, 
in accordance with the German process. They are perma- 
nent, nutritious, handsomely put up, and are unadulterated 
with glucose, as is frequently the case with other brands.

Fluid Extracts and Pills. 



Our brand of Fluid Extracts and Sugar-Coated 
Pills is probably the most popular of any in the United 
States. We manufacture, we think, a larger line of both- 
than any other American house, and our goods are sold 
in every State and Territory, as well as in Great Britain 
and on the Continent. 

Our Extracts are made by a process peculiar to our- 
selves, which secures a product of uniform strength, with- 
out injury to those medicinal principles which are unfavor- 
ably affected by the employment of heat in their extraction* 
We select the best drugs, as regards condition and quality, 
which the market affords (our extensive correspondence 
giving us great advantage in this direction), employ only 
the most skillful assistants in their manipulation, and by 
the superiority of our apparatus and process, secure a per- 
fectly uniform product without the aid of heat. 

Our Pills are made entirely by hand, from the purest 
materials, and are sugar-coated by a method avoiding the 
use of heat above 90°, without impairing either their effi- 
cacy or solubility. They are coated while the mass is yet soft 
(a result which has been attained only after years of ex 
perience and many costly experiments), and will remain in 
the same condition for years. For solubility, regularity of 
shape and beauty of finish, they are excelled by none. 

Special formula made and coated to order, when desired, 
in lots of 3,000 or upwards. 

PARKE, DAVIS & CO., 

Detroit, Mich. 






)o(- 

Our capacity for the manufacture of sugar-coated pills 
is unsurpassed. Great care and skill, based on long expe- 
rience, is exercised to secure accuracy in the mixing of 
materials and the division of the pills. Having made 
many improvements in the manipulation throughout the 
process, we can, with confidence, guarantee in our finished 
pills 

Uniformity, Solubility, Smoothness 

and PERMANENT AND IMMACULATE WHITENESS. We keep 



400 DIFFERENT FORMUL/E 

constantly on hand as our regular stock line, all of which 
have been selected either from officinal or other standard 
authorities, or from the prescriptions of able physicians. 

We also devote a special department in our Laboratory 
to the making and sugar-coating of private formulae. In 
this specialty we spare no trouble or expense to please our 
patrons, as regards both medicinal efficacy and beauty and 
permanency of finish. All materials used by us are either 
selected with care and judgment from the best markets, or 
are the carefully prepared products of our own laboratory. 
Not less than 3,000 pills should be ordered of any private 
formula, as it is difficult to handle a smaller number to 
advantage in our coating apparatus. 

B^" Please observe that our pills are coated while 
the mass is yet soft, and will remain in same condition 
for years. To convince yourselves of this fact, and of 

THEIR EXTRAORDINARY SOLUBILITY, 

Please cut open a few of them (for instance, quinine, 
cinchonidia or blue) all of which are usually found on the 
market hard and insoluble. 

Note also the rapidity with which the sugar-coating 
is dissolved in the saliva. 

Send for price list of 400 formulae.

of the drug to the pint, and manufacturers have generally

46 PHARMACEUTICAL REMARKS. 

followed this standard for the unofficinal fluid extracts. 
This standard has been adopted for the convenience 
of all concerned, as the different units of apothecarie's 
weight, and fluid measures correspond ; viz. one pint 
(sixteen fluid ounces) equals, in strength, 16 troy ounces. 
1 fluid ounce equals 1 troy ounce. 1 fluid drachm 
equals 1 troy drachm. 1 fluid minim equals 1 troy grain. 
Hence, if the dose of the crude or powdered drug is 
known in grains, the dose of the fluid extract may be 
correspondingly designated iD minims. 

Fluid extracts are the most convenient form of phar- 
maceutical representations of crude drugs; being liable to 
no deterioration by age, and being concentrated in form, 
the dose is much smaller and easier dispensed by the 
apothecary, and taken by the patient. They are especially 
adapted to the pocket-case of the physicians, the camp- 
chest and the ship hospital. Prepared by the large manu- 
facturers, they should be much more uniform in strength 
than the parcels of medicinal plants sold in the shop. 

In preparation all high degrees of heat should be 
avoided, as the delicate alkaloids and volatile oils of the 
plants are quickly decomposed or evaporated by such in- 
fluence. 

Precipitation. The precipitate may be either medicinal 
or non-medicinal matter, and is deposited because it is 
insoluble in the existing menstruum. Alcohol is recogni- 
zed as the most general solvent for the medicinal prin- 
ciples of plants, easily extracting and holding in solution 
alkaloids, resins, oleo-resins and oils— and not acting on 
the starch or gummy matters. Diluted alcohol is a less 
powerful solvent for the above principles, but exerting 
considerable influence on the gummy matter; while 
water is used only for those drugs whose properties reside 
in their mucilagineus or gummy portions. Hence, if 
water be added to an alcoholic fluid extract, containing 
oils (as valerian or cubebs), or resins (as mandrake or 
cannabis Indica), or oleo-resins (as blue flag or capsicum). 
a white precipitate, of the medicinal property, will imme-

diately form. Hence a precipitate in these extracts should 
be regarded as a bad feature, showing a loss of value. 
Filtration should not be resorted to, but rather let the 
preparation be " well shaken when taken." On the con- 
trary, if alcohol is added to fluid extracts of weaker men- 
struum, a precipitate will form composed, generally, of 
starch, gam, or other inert substance, which is soluble in 
water, but is rejected by the stronger alcohol. Filtration 
in these cases will clear the liquid at only the expense of 
its bulk. Alcoholic fluid extracts, as above explained, are 
usually light colored and thin, that is, if prepared without 
heat. Diluted menstrua are darker colored and thicker 
in consistency, than the alcoholic. Souring or any decom- 
position is an evidence of too weak a menstruum, and 
thus alcohol is needed for preservation. Fluid extracts 
should be administered in flavored waters or aromatic 
elixirs, syrups or tinctures. Licorice is also a good 
adjuvant for concealing the taste of many nauseous 
drugs. , 

TINCTURES. Tinctures are made from the drug by 
percolation. The officinal tinctures vary much in 
strength, but the unofficinal are regularly made according 
to the standard of two troy ounces to the pint. When 
preparing them from the fluid extract, bear in mind that 
one ounce of the drug is represented by one fluid ounce 
of the fluid extract. Then refer to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia 
for the standard number of grains of the crude drug. If 
the extract is non-officinal, use the standard of two fluid 
ounces of the fluid extract to the pint of tincture. For a 
menstruum, be guided by the character of the drug. Refer 
to the Dispensatory, and if its properties reside in oils, 
resins, oleo-resins or alkaloids, use the requisite quantity 
of strong alcohol. (This list includes Valeriana, cubebs 
mandrake, ginger, nux vomica, the narcotics, and many 
others.) If the properties are found to be soluble in either 
water or alcohol, use diluted alcohol. In case the mixture 
is cloudy, be guided by the preceding remarks on fluid 
extracts. Don't sacrifice the quality of your tincture by

filtration to secure a handsome preparation, unless you 
know the precipitate to be worthless. Remember that 
oils or resins are not soluble in water, and will always 
precipitate when it is added to their solutions, and that 
-6-Cohol will not solve gum and starch. 

These remarks apply equally well to the dispensing 
of prescriptions, and it is absurd for a druggist to 
expect a handsome (clear) preparation from a prescrip- 
tion like the following, without a reduction of its me- 
dicinal value.

M. 

SYRUPI, (Syrups)— The general remarks made under 
the head of tinctures apply to these articles, with the 
exception that the use of a weaker menstruum is compul- 
sory. As a rule, pour the s fluid extract into hot syrup, 
and filter while hot. 

VINA— Wines— Same as above. Use for menstruum 
Sherry or native wine with the addition of two ounces of 
alcohol to every pint. 

DECOCTIONS, Infusions Waters, etc., can be made 
from the fluid extract, using of the fluid extract the requi- 
site number of minims to equal the number of grains of 
the crude drug called for by the Pharmacopoeia. 

CONCENTRATIONS are either the powdered alcoholic 
extract of the plant, or the isolated resinoid or alkaloid in 
an impure state. In case of atropine, aconitin, and other 
powerful principles, the impure approximate principles, 
called u concentrations," are, oftentimes, more desirable, 
as the dose is somewhat larger, thus partially removing 
the dangerous features of such powerful agents. 

The "caking" or solidification of these articles, is 
oftentimes impossible to avoid, owing to the nature of 
the article. An oleo-resin can not be powdered unless it be 
dried (thus deteriorating it), by heat, ov else largely mixed

with absorbing powders, as sugar of milk, etc. Hence the 
caking is no evidence of its careless preparation, or of its 
lessened medicinal value, but directly to the contrary. 
The absorbent powder should be noted on the label, and 
the proportion used, so as to enable any one to know the 
strength of the preparation within ; as for instance, on an 
ounce bottle of Leptandrin, the label should read: 
1 oz. Leptandrin, )

SUGAR COATED PILLS. They are liable to crack, 
stain and swell. Cracking off of the coating is the result 
of the shrinkage of the pill within the coating. Staining is 
caused by the soaking through of the coating of the oily 
matter of the drugs within. These three methods for 
preventing this ill effect are made use of by manufac- 
turers: (1) The oil is absorbed by magnesia, sugar or 
other powder, previous to the application of the coating. 
(2) The pills are subjected to great and continued heat, 
which draws out the oil at the expense of the solubility of 
the pill, or (3) the oil is omitted, sacrificed for the purpose 
of removing this danger from the coating. Hence this 
feature (staining) should not be regarded as of any injury, 
except to the beauty of the pill. Swelling is a result 
which cannot be avoided or foreseen. It may be caused 
by a decomposition, produced by heat, in the material . 
Ahvays keep sugar coaled pills in a cool place and well 
corked, and the tendency to these results will be removed.

of iron solution (density 1.45) 109 parts ; Water, 800 parts ; 
Calcined magnesia, 80 parts ; Animal charcoal, 40 parts. 
The iron solution should be kept in a separate bottle 
from the mixture of the other three substances, anf. 
should be added to it immediately before using. This 
mixture acts as a perfect antidote to arsenic, and is prefer- 
able to ferric hydrate, because the latter deteriorates upon 
keeping. It also acts as a perfect antidote for compounds 
of zinc, and digitaline, and nearly so for those of copper. 
It delays considerably the action of salts of morphia and 
strychnia, and to a slight extent that of compounds of 
mercury, it has no virtue in counteracting the effect of 
cyanide of mercury, tartar emetic, hydrocyanic acid, 
phosphorus or the caustic alkalies. VI. A freshly pre- 
pared mixture of the sulphide of iron, magnesia, and sul- 
phate of sodium, acts as a perfect antidote for salts of 
copper, corrosive sublimate and cyanide of mercury. 
VII. Dr. Bellini, Professor of Toxicology at the Royal 
Institute at Florence, recommends iodide of starch as a 
valuable antidote in poisoning by alkaline and earthy 
sulphides, caustic alkalies and ammonia,andthe vegetable 
alkalies. In poisoning by alkaline or earthy sulphides, 
he thinks it preferable to all other antidotes ; in poisoning 
by caustic alkalies, it is applicable when acid drinks are 
not at hand.

acid, but not for the arsenite of potash, nor for the arsen- 
ite of soda, (&.) At a longer interval than an hour it is 
useless to attempt recovery from poisoning by arsenic, (c.) 
For arsenite of potash, and arsenite of soda the author 
proposes pi rchloride of iron in conjunction with mag- 
nesia, (d.) The mode of administration is the officinal 
solution of perchloride of iron, and, a half an hour after, 
magnesia in the proportion of a drachm to 3% fl. ozs. of 
perchloride. (e.) This perchloride of iron and magnesia 
is also an antidote for arsenious acid. Therefore, it is 
preferable to employ it always in cases of poisoning by ar- 
senic or its compounds. (/".) An hour after the adminis- 
tration of an antidote, it will always be well to employ a 
purgative, in order to expel the ferrated arsenite which is 
formed, and as this arsenite is soluble in acids, to avoid 
acid drinks and lemonades. (M. Rouyer).

Asphyxia ane Apkcea, from drowning : 1. Give the 
patient plenty of fresh air, fully exposing neck and chest 
to the breeze, unless inclement. 2. Turn gently on the 
face, one forearm being under the forehead, and raise the 
body up , keeping the head down, that the water may 
have free discharge from the mouth ; or, place the body, 
belly down, across a barrel, and gently roll back and 
forth a few times. 3. Place patient upon the side and 
apply stimulants (ammonia, etc.) near the nostrils ; or, the 
cold douche, in order to excite respiration. 4. Gently turn 
patient from partially on his face (the arm being under 
the forehead) to the back; then to the face again, and so 
on, deliberately and preserveringly, and not oftener than 
eighteen times per minute. When patient is on his face, 
make even and steady pressure along the spine, removing 
it before turning upon the back; and when there, make 
slight pressure upon the chest, removing this, also, before 
turning upon the face. 5. Or, the following mode of 
artificial ^respiration (Silvester's) might be employed:

Having laid the patient upon his back, raise the arms up 
by the side of his head, keeping them straight, and hay- 
ing the tongue pulled well forwards; then bring them 
down to the side, slightly crossing the chest with them, 
making, at the same time, slight pressure thereon ; con- 
tinue these movements deliberately and carefully, and 
not oftener than eighteen times per minute. In 4, when 
the patient is on his side, and in 5, when the arms are 
above the head, artificial inflation should be performed. 
6. Or the following, which is recommended by the trans- 
Atlantic journals: Having placed the patient upon his 
back, with a firm roll of clothing under the false ribs, so 
as to throw their anterior margins well forwards, an 
assistant brings the tongue forwards, whilst the operator, 
facing the patient, kneels astride his abdomen, and places 
both hands so that the balls of the thumbs rest upon the 
anterior margins of the the false ribs, the fingers falling 
into the corresponding intercostal spaces. With the elbows 
of the operator pressing firmly against his side, he throws 
himself forwards, using his knees as a pivot, forcing the 
false ribs towards each other, and upward and inward. 
This contracts the pulmonary space to the greatest pos- 
sible extent. The operator then suddenly removes the 
pressure, the inrush of the air and the elasticity of the rib- 
attachments force them out again, causing, by the dia- 
phragm's descent, an inspiration. Continue this not 
oftener than eighteen times per minute. 7. Having per- 
formed (2) "several times, lay the body face down, the head 
upon the arm, and stand astride it; grasp it then about 
the shoulders and armpits, and raise the chest as high as 
you can without lifting the head quite off the arm, and 
hold it about three seconds ; then replace the body upon 
the ground, and press the lower ribs downwards and in- 
wards, with slowly increasing force for ten seconds : then 
suddenly let go, to perform the lifting process again. 8.

TESTS. 

Actdtjm hydrocyanicum : odor of bitter almonds; to 
the liquid add a few drops of potassic lq., and afterwards 
a solution of ferric protosulphate, when a brown precipi- 
tate will fall, which, on the addition of sulphuric acid, 
instantly changes to a bluish-gree,n, and finally to a full 
blue. 

Muriaticum : add a solution of argentic nitrate to the 
fluid, which gives a white precipitate, soluble in lq am- 
monia, and insoluble in nitric acid ; dense white fumes 
from the vapor of lq. ammonise. 

Nitricum: boil over filings of copper, when dense 
orange fumes will be given off; stains all albuminoid 
eubstances yellow ; reddens morphia and its salts. 

Oxalicum : intensely sour ; oxalate of lime formed on 
addition of lq. calcis, which is insoluble in an excess of 
the alkali, but soluble in nitric acid ; readily volatilize 
by heat subliming in small crystals. 

Sulphuricum: soapy feel between the fingers; heat 
evolved on mixing with water ; sulphurous acid gas on 
boiling with mercury. 

Alkalies (lq. ammoniae, potassse, soda?) : not precipi- 
tated on the addition of solution of potassic carbonate, 
as are the solutions of alkaline earths ; soapy between the 
fingers ; they blue reddened litmus paper. 

Antimonium: odor of burnt vegetable matter on 
subliming with charcoal, the powder at first blackening, 
then whitening, and finally showing the metal ; to the 
solution add Tr. gallae, which gives a dense whitish -yellow 
precipitate ; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a crimson or 
orange precipitate. 



Tests. 65 

Argenti nitras: piece of phosphorus precipitates 
from the solution of the metal ; solution of arsenious acid 
in lq. ammonise, when added, gives a yellow precipitate ; 
all the hydro-chlorates precipitate a white powder, which 
blackens by light. 

Arsenicum : sublimed on charcoal or red-hot iron 
gives garlic odor; heated in glass- tube with charcoal it 
sublimes and condenses into metal ; sulphuretted hydro- 
gen gives yellow precipitate ; ammoniated solution of argen- 
tic nitrate gives yellow precipitate; ammoniated solution 
of cupric sulphate gives green precipitate ; boil with mu- 
riatic acid, and put in a bright piece of copper, the me- 
tallic arsenic immediately coats the bright surface; 
Marsh's test with nascent hydrogen. 

Barium chloridum ; drop in the suspected fluid a few 
drops of sulphuric acid, when a white precipitate falls, 
insoluble in nitric acid ; mixed with a solution of argentic 
nitrate, a curdy white precipitate forms, that is insoluble in 
nitric acid, but soluble in lq. ammonise ; if in a colored 
menstruum, this is to be bleached with chlorine, the 
chlorine being driven off by heat before the last test can 
be applied. 

Brucia: dissolved and colored blood-red by nitri 
acid, which is changed to deep violet on the further addi 
tion of a solution of a protochloride of tin. 

Cantharis : shining green particles of the drug whei 
undissolved ; water precipitates {white) the alcoholic solu 
tion, which is afterwards soluble in an excess of water. 

Carbonic Acid gas : extinguishes the candle when th 
proportion is from 12 to 15 per centum, the smoke bein? 
seen to float upon the stratum of the gas; agitating lq. 
calcis or solution of subacetate of lead in this gas (when 
much above 1 per centum present) produces a white preci- 
pitate in the liquids ; agitating a blued (by litmus) solution 
of chloride of lime in the gas, the color is discharged, thus 
differentiating from nitrogen. 

Creasotum : peculiar smoky odor ; instantly coagulates 
albumen. 



Tests. 

Cuprum : all cupric salts, in solution, or otherwise, 
are blue and green; solutions generally have acid reaction ; 
lq. ammonias, added to a suspected solution, gives a 
bluish-white precipitate, soluble in an excess of the am- 
moniae, giving a violet-blue solution, if copper be present ; 
potassic ferrocyanate gives a claret-red precipitate, or a 
reddish-brown color if the cuprum is present only in small 
quantities ; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a deep chocolate- 
brown precipitate; polished steel speedily coated with the 
metal if suspended in the solution ; pour some on aplatina 
plate, acidulate with nitric acid, then touch the platina, 
passing through the fluid, with a slip of zinc, when a 
deposit of copper upon the platina takes place. 

Ferrum: the soluble salts strike an inky color (and 
taste) when brought in contact with an infusion of galls. 

Htdrargyri chlo. cor. : lq. calcis, or lq. potassse gives 
an orange-yellow precipitate , solution of potassic iodide 
gives a scarlet precipitate (Hg. I 2 ) ; put the powder (if 
poison in that form) with dry potassic carbonate into 
test-tube and heat to redness, mercury will be obtained in 
globules; place a gold coin, wrapped around with a bright 
copper wire, in the suspected fluid, the white coating upon 
the coin assumes metallic lustre on rubbing if cor. sub. be 
present; drop a little of the fluid upon a bright gold 
surface, touch it, through the liquid, with the point of a 
knife, when an amalgam is formed ; solution of proto- 
Chloride of tin to be added gradually, the precipitate is to 
be carefully washed, when a globule of mercury will 
remain. Iodide : apply some of the above tests for the 
mercury, and in addition heat in glass-tube, when the 
purple vapor of iodine will be driven off for the proto- 
iodide, and o. yellow vapor (changing to red as it cools) for 
the biniodide. 

Iodlnium: purple vapor on sublimation; added to 
starchy solutions and mucilages it strikes a purple color. 
Potassic iodide : solution of hydrargic bichloride gives a 
scarlet precipitate; mixed with starchy solution, and 



Tests. 67 

treated with chlorine gas or nitrous acid, a blue color is 
produced. 

Morphia: nitric acid, in excess, to quite a strong 
solution, or powder, produces an orange-red color (make 
this test only to cold solutions); solution of ferric chloride, 
neutralized by potash, gives an inky-blue color to a solu- 
tion of morphia (not to be applied to a very acid or hot 
• liquid) ; mix iodic acid with starch, when a purplish or 
deep purple color is produced (not to be applied to hot or 
very acid liquids). 

Nux Vomica : aqueous infusion gives a bright red tint 
on addition of nitric acid ; a green color by addition of 
ferric chloride. 

Opium : same as for morphia ; ferric chloride turns an 
aqueous solution to a deep red color. 

Phosphorus : its peculiar odor and combustible prop- 
erties. 

Plumbi carbonas : powder rubbed in mortar with tr. 
guaiaci and a few diops of lq. ammonise, a green color is 
produced ; reduce to metallic state on charcoal ; if in col- 
ored solutions, decolorize by chlorine, when a solution of 
potassic sulphate will give a white precipitate; sulphur- 
etted hydrogen, a black precipitate ; potassic chromate, a 
yellow precipitate ; dissolve in acetic acid, add potassic 
iodide, and a yellow plumbic iodide will fall. The above 
answers, generally, for other plumbic preparations as a 
lead test. 

Potassii bromidum: starch or mucilage colored yellow; 
take up the bromine with aether, then drop into this a 
solution of argentic nitrate, when & whitish-yellow preci- 
pitate, insoluble in nitric acid or lq. ammonise, falls; 
sulphuric acid, in a colorless solution, sets bromine free, 
giving the odor and color {deep red) to the liquid. Nitras : 
deflagrates when thrown on ''live coals"-; gives off 
nitrous acid fumes when hot sulphuric acid is poured 
upon it; if poison in solution, sprinkle morphia over the 
surface, then add a little sulphuric acid, if niter present 



68 TESTS. 

the morphia changes to a red color from the action of 
freed nitrous acid ; add to the solution sulphuric acid and 
protosulphate of iron, the nitric acid disengaged will 
darken the solution. 

Stanni chloridum: Iq. potassae and potassic ferro- 
cyani .e give white precipitates; hydrosulphurets, yellow 
precipitates ; hydrarg. bichlo., a gray precipitate ; argent, 
chlo., a white, curdy precipitate, soluble in lq. ammonwe, 
but insoluble in acids. 

Zinci sulphas; potassic chromate precipitates the 
yellaw zincic chromate. 

IS^Note.— How to distinguish the alkaloids: Treat 
the nowder with nitric acid which is colored red by 
Brucia, Delphia, Morphia, and (impure) Strychnia; if the 
reddened substance becomes of a violet color by adding 
stannic chloride it is Brucia; if it become black, it is 
Delphia ; if soluble, evolving free iodine when iodic acid 
is introduced, it is Morphia ; if not soluble and will not 
decompose iodic acid, it is Strychnia. If nitric acid 
greens the powder, it is Solania ; if insoluble in aether, 
and does not redden nitric acid, it is Emktia ; if soluble in 
sether, does not redden nitric acid, is volatilized, it is 
Atropia; if thus affected by aether and nitric acid, but is 
not rendered volatile, it is Veratria. 

A. Rusemann'a Test for Morphia is asserted to be ex- 
ceedingly delicate, as small a quantity as 0*00001 gm. 
(= g-^- o& r ) °f morphia being said to be recognizable, 
even in presence of organic coloring matter. It consists 
in heating the suspected liquid to 150°, or thereabouts, for 
a few moments with concentrated sulphuric acid, leaving 
it to cool, and adding a trace of sodium hypochlorite, 
potassium chlorate, or chlorine water : a beautiful blue — 
to violet-red color— then appears, which soon changes to 
blood-red and finally disappears.

and red litmus paper. The reagents are indicated in the 
several tests. The expense for an apparatus like the 
above, which is complete enough for any ordinary work, 
will be in the neighborhood of $5.00. 

Quantity: In health the average quantity of urine 
passed in the twenty-four hours by an adult is about 50 
fluid-ounces, though there may be a considerable variation 
from this amount. 

Reaction : this is always acid in a twenty-four hours' 
collection, in health. May be alkaline from effect of reme- 
dies adminstered, disease, or a meal. 

Solids in each ounce of urine : Take the Sp. Gr. with 
the urinometer ; the last two figures of this will give you 
the amount of solids in each fluid-ounce. Examp^: 
Normal urine is 1.018 ; hence there are 18 grains of solids 
in each fluid-ounce. Normally there are from 600 to 700 
grains of solids excreted in a day.

urine be alkaline, acidulate by a few drops of acetic acid, 
before boiling. Excess of nitric acid also prevents coag- 
ulation by heat. Tube to be one-third filled with deep 
yellow solution of picrid acid (Galipe's test) and to this 
add a few drops of suspected urine ; if albumen present, 
immediately there appears a sharply marked white cloud, 
that, by heat, is made to coagulate. Phosphates or urates 
do not interfere with this test. 

9. Uric acid: slowly precipitated by muriatic and 
nitric acids ; soluble in lq. potassse (7). Place a little of 
the deposit upon the platina-leaf and add a drop of nitric 
acid to dissolve it, and then carefully evaporate. When dry 
add a few drops of lq. ammonise, when a beautiful purple 
color will be developed in it. 

10. Mucus : urine generally cloudy, ropy and alka- 
line ; coagulated by acetic acid (11) in fine fibrillated bands ; 
this is made more distinct by the addition of a litt le iodine 
and potassic iodide to the acid. 

11. Pus: urine generally acid; pus falls to the bottom 
of the vessel; lq. potassas form gelatinous mass resembling 
mucus; is albuminous (8) ; acetic acid actionless (10); 
saturated alcoholic solution of guaiacum exposed to air 
until it will turn green od coming in contact with potassic 
iodide ; a few drops of this upon pus, moistened with wa- 
ter, strikes a blue color. 

12. Phosphates : Earthy, white precipitate by lq. am- 
monia? or lq. potassae, which is soluble in all acids, but not 
by heat. Their approximate quantity is foun d by adding, 
to a test-tube one-third filled with the clear urine, a few 
drops of the alkali, and then gently heating. In fifteen or 
twenty minutes, if the layer of precipitate is found to be 
about one-third of an inch in height, they are about 
normal. Great variation from this will indicate their su- 
perabundance or deficiency. Alkaline, yellow precipitate by 
argentic nitrate, which is soluble in lq. ammonias and dil. 
nitric acid ; obtained by filtering off the earthy ; the alka- 
line phosphates then being precipitated by a saturated 



Tests for Urinary Deposits. 71 

solution of magnesii sulphas. It is really unnecessary to 
filter off the earthy phosphates in order to get an u approx* 
imate quantitative estimate " for ordinary purposes. To 
get this, add to a given quantity of the urine one-third as 
much of the following : Equal pa r ts magnesic sulphate 
amnionic chloride and Iq. ammoniae, to eight parts o: 
distilled water ; if the result is a milky-like cloudiness o 
the whole, then they are in normal quantity ; if cream-Uke 
in excess. 

13. 'Cystine . Precipitated by ammonic carbonate anc 
acetic acid ; soluble in lq. ammoniae (5), lq. potassae, min 
eral acids, though insoluble in vegetable acids, and by heat 
Is a pale or/aw/i-colored deposit. Urine has the odor of 
sweet-brier [4]. 

14. Oxalate of Lime : condense by evaporation and 
use microscope [3] ; insoluble in acetic acid (6) and liquor 
potassae ; soluble in mineral acids ; sp. gr. high ; urine con- 
tains an abundance of epithelial cells and urea. 

15. Hippuric Acid : condense by evaporation, add a 
few drops of muriatic acid, and you get the characteristic 
(microscopical) twig-like crystals ; urine light colored and 
odor of whey ; sp. gr. low. 

16. Sugar : (1) : quantity of urine generally greatly in- 
creased. (Before applying any of these tests, albumen, if 
present, should be coagulated and removed by filtration.) 
Lq. potassae with heat turns urine deep brown, and if to 
this a few drops of nitric acid be added, the coloration dis- 
appears, and an odor similar to burnt molasses is develop- 
ed. Take of urine and the following equal parts: #. P°* 
tassii bitart, gr. 96 ; sodii carb., gr. 96 ; cupri sulph., gr. 32 ; 
potassae, gr. 64 ; aquae, f S 2 ; boil and you have a red pre- 
cipitate (cupri suboxid.) if sugar be present. (This detects 
where Trommers' fails.) To the suspected urine add one- 
half as much lq. potassae, and to this a few grains of bis- 
muthic subnitrate, then shaking and boiling ; if sugar be 
present the black metallic bismuth will be found deposited 
upon the sides of the test-tube. (Boetger's test.) — Vidaa 



2 Tests *or DtwNARir i>^03its. 

ays, equal parts acid muriatic and ol. sesami, either 
iold or slightly heated, assume a distinct rose-color 
f cane or grape sugar be present, provided not less than 
;r. 1-64 of sugar to fl\ 16 of the mixture be present. 

17. Bn.E : urine brown ; pour a dozen drops on piece 
of porcelain, and to this add 3 drops of strong nitric acid, 
which will produce a change of colors, green and pink pre- 
dominating; or, add to the suspected urine albumen, 
coagulate with nitric acid, and the coagulum will shortly 
turn bluish-green if bile be present; solution with plum- 
bic acetate gives a yellowish precipitate. Tr. Iodinii pro- 
duces a beautiful green, varying from rose to yellow, color, 
if added. No pigment but bile will give this green color- 
ation. (M. Marechalfs test). 

18. Blood: microscope; urine dingy and contains 
dark, jetty-like masses ; made turbid by heat or nitric 
acid (2) and (5) ; Tfr. Tr. guaiaci and ol. terebinthinse equal 
parts, and thoroughly emulsifying, add to this an equal 
quantity of the suspected urine, when, if blood be present, 
the sediment will strike a deep Hue color ; if no blood, it 
will be a white or dirty green color ; precipitate the phos- 
phates by lq. potassse, which will be colored red, if hsema- 
tin be present. 

19. Chlorides: white precipitate by argentic nitrate 
(12), which is soluble in lq. am., but insoluble in nitric 
acid ; (as the silver solution precipitates the phosphates 
also, it would be better to add a few drops of nitric acid to 
ihe urine before making the test) ; a quantitative estimation 
is made by adding a single drop of a 1-part of silver to 8- 
of- water solution to the urine, and if normal (% to 1 per 
cent.) there should be cheesy-like lumps produced which 
do not make urine more milky by moving the glass about ; 
if they are deficient, a milMness only will be developed. 

20. Sulphates : solution of the chloride or nitrate of 
barium (1 to 12 of water), or subacetate of plumbum give 
a precipitate insoluble in dilute acids; when barium is 

ed a few drops of some mineral acid should be added 



Tests for Urinary Deposits. 73 

to the urine in order to prevent the deposition of the baric 
phosphate, which would otherwise be precipitated. If 
there then occurs a mUkiness of the urine, the amount of 
the sulphates are normal. 

21. Fat: urine milky and opaque; albuminous (8); 
fat comes to surface ; dissolved and urine made clear by 
aether. 

22. Coloring Matters : I. Urohcematin, obtained by 
adding 1 part of acidum sulphuricum to 2 parts of urine» 
which strikes a garnet red color; if brownish, over-much 
coloring matter ; frequent in hepatic affections, pyrexia, 
etc. 

II. Uroxanthin^ obtained by adding 20 or 30 drops of 
urine to four or five times the quantity of acidum muriati- 
cum, or nitricum, when, after stirring, a red or faintly 
violet color is struck ; if strongly marked, an excess of 
w indican" ; found in nervous, renal and serous affections. 

III. Uroerythin, obtained by an addition of a solution 
of plumbic acetate to the urine, giving a pinkish precipi- 
tate; found in acute rheumatism, gout, and hepatic 
troubles. 

23. Urea : amount in specimen : place a drop on plati- 
num-foil plate, and to this add a drop of nitric acid; if 
urea in excess, crystals (uric nitrate) form at once ; no im- 
mediate formation in normal urine ; look out that albumen 
does not deceive you (8). 2. Having cleansed the plate by 
bringing to red heat in lamp flame, place double the quan- 
tity of urine upon it, concentrate it one-half by heat, and 
then add a drop of nitric acid ; normal urine will instantly 
crystallize under this process ; the slowness of crystalliza- 
tion in the specimen indicates, relatively, the deficiency 
of urea. The crystals of nitrate of urea are readily recog- 
nized by the microscope as 6-sided laminae, or quadri- 
lateral plates, often superimposed; (see (13), which are 
smaller plates.) 

24. Tyrosin: greenish-yellow stars or needles under 
the microscope ; nitric acid turns urine deep orange ; the 



74 Tests for Urinary Deposits. 

yellow residue, after evaporation, changes to a red on ad. 
dition of solution of soda. 

Uraemia : it is said that a piece of glass moistened with 
sulphuric acid and held to the escaping breath of such a 
patient, gives a white deposit upon the glass. 

Alkalinity: dependent upon a Jixed alkali, the test- 
paper undergoes no change by drying ; if on ammonia, 
test-paper changes to the original red color. 

Note.— Heat only dissolves urates ; potash, all deposits 
but the phosphates, and the oxalate of lime ; muriatic 
aeid, generally all deposits but uric acid. In all tests 
where reagents are employed, only a few drops of the 
reagent designated should be used to a test-tube one-third 
filled with the urine to be examined.

bilicus ; (e) sixth month, two fingers' breadth above um- 
bilicus; (/) seventh month, midway to sternum; (g) 
eighth month, nearly to sternum, with cough and palpi- 
tation; (h) ninth month, settling of womb. 2. Changes 
in position of urethra, being drawn up with the uterus- 
3. CEdema of lower extremities. 4. Changes of neck of 
uterus, as becoming patulous, with glandular secretion.. 

Positive.— 1. Quickening, average time being at 4% 
months ; is to be distinguished from assumed. 2. JSallote- 
menty though no proof against pregnancy if not elicited. 
3. Pulsations of fcetal heart. 4. Bruit placentaire {?) 5. 
Pulsation of umbilical cord (?) 

Labor, Signs of : Preliminary— -1. Neck of uterus oblit- 
erated, feeling like a "ring;" large enough to admit the 
index in multiparae. 2. For two or three days an "un 
easy" or slightly contracting uterus. 3. Sinking forwards

of fundus, with proportionate accessibility of finger to os; 
(b) frequent desire to urinate; (c) discharge of vaginaj 
mucus. 4. Haemorrhoids— increasing cedema of legs- 
pains in hips and loins. 5. Morbid action of mind. 

Essential.— True intermitting labor pains, beginning at 
fundus. 2. Dilatation— longer to open to size of a half- 
dollar than to complete the process ; rigors and emesi s 
common. 3. Muco -sanguineous discharge. 4. Formation 
and rupture of "bag of waters." Tremblings and loss of 
consciousness frequent at completion of dilatation. 

Position and Presentation : if foetal pulsation heard 
below a line dividing the uterus mid- way horizontally, 
v er tex. If above that line, breech. If below, end to the left, 
first position. If below and to the right, second position. If 
below 134 pulsations per minute, probably male; if above, 
probably female: 

Presumptive proof of first position; l.Heart beats plainest 
on left side (see above.) 2. Motion having been felt most 
on right side, as the '• fourth position" rarely occurs. 
3. Anterior fontanelle, having its long prong frontally, 
being up and back, as regards the vagina, and generally 
being out of reach of fiD°;3r. 4. Widest, and most depen- 
dent part of tumor in fronts the slope being backwards 
and upwards ; (if third position, the posterior part of tumor 
is lowest and widest in the vagina). 

Eioid Os : unguentum belladonnse to os ; warm water 
injections; aether or chloroform to "lulling" effect; 
dilators, ipecacuanha or antimonii et potassii tartras ad 
nauseam. 

Pains : increase by ergota ; opium ; chloral. The two 
latter if deficiency dependent upon nervous excitement. 
Never give ergot unless you can complete delivery at any 
moment. Assurance from attendant goes a great ways ; 
electricity; frictions over abdomen; compression of 
uterus ; introduction of elastic catheter between uterus and 
ovum / warm water injection ; plugging vagina ; rupturing 
of membranes \ if they be ready to rupture. 



Obstetric Department. 79 

During stage of expulsion, do not allow patient " to 
go to stool " ; use a bed-pan. 

Allow walking only when head is in brim of pelvis, 
and not after the os is dilated and the membranes ready 
to rupture. 

Placenta Previa: haemorrhage generally begins at 
sixth month wiih cervix undilated and swelling of vaginal 
region of womb. In these earlier stages, rest, cooling 
drinks, and lastly the tampon are needed. At labor, 
haemorrhage is during, not between, the pains ; rest, cool 
room, cooling drinks and astringents; ice; opium and 
lead to allay contractions ; astringent and iced injections ; 
tampon; rupture membranes (Simpson), and if thisfail3 
and os undilated and below seventh month, separate 
placenta and extract ; should os be readily dilated, turn 
and extract child, after separating a single placental coty- 
ledon. Be chary of accouchement force, Simpson says: 
44 separation of placenta is safe compared with turning.'* 
Ergota, hypodermically, if indicated. 

Foot Extraction: being seated close to edge of bed, 
with patient's feet supported by chairs, oil back of hand, 
introduce (a part or the whole) into the vagina and grasp 
both feet (if both presenting), making traction ; when born, 
the legs (the toes generally pointing backwards) are to be 
grasped higher up, the stronger, if not the entire, traction 
to be upon the one nearest the pubes, hereby assisting 
materially the proper rotation of the child for the head 
delivery ; guard against " a riding (being astraddle) of the 
cord " in this stage ; if delay in delivery of head, rein tro. 
duce the hand, insert finger into the child's mouth and 
flex the chin upon the chesty then use traction aided by ab* 
dominal pressure, remembering the head, as soon as liber- 
ated from the brim, rotates backwards (face to sacrum) ; to 
prevent perineal laceration, carry body gradually upwards 
over the pubes as it is " born J ' ; the hip lying next to the 
pubes, and the same shoulder and portion of the head, is 
generally to be first liberated. 



80 Obstetric Department. 

Turning: chloroform, opium, antimony, or venesec- 
tion, as preparatory; lateral, or elbow-knee position of 
patient "best ; oil all but the inside of hand; choose the 
hand that will best grasp the back of the heels, which 
most generally corresponds to the opposite side of woman's 
pelvis in which the feet are ; introduce it between the ab- 
dominal surface of child and uterus, membranes (if un- 
ruptured) intervening ; one knee, the opposite to the pre- 
senting arm or shoulder, which is the upper knee, is 
grasped, and with traction and abdominal manipulation 
is brought down, the membranes generally rupturing. 
(Not necessary, generally, to bring down both knees or 
feet, and by choosing the opposite one to the presenting 
arm you get a rotation that more readily withdraws the 
arm into the uterus.) Traction can now be used to hasten 
delivery, if need be, all being the same as in ordinary 
foot or knee extraction. 

^~ As the knee is easier reached, makes less pressure 
upon the uterine wall during the rotation, it is preferable 
to grasping the loot. To discriminate from elbow, remem- 
ber the convexity of the knee points towards the fact. In- 
troduce hand into vagina during pains, into uterus during 
intervals, turn during intervals only. Unnecessary to bring 
down both knees or feet, save in rare instances. 

Hemorrhage during labor: prognosis for child is 
bad, and for mother also, especially if placenta is detach- 
ed ; in this latter case deliver immediately , by incising os, 
or dilating, or both (if the case be not placenta previa) ; 
ergota, hypodermically or internally; frictions to uterus, 
and kneading through abdomen ; cold abdominal douche 
or slapping with cold wet towels. 2. If ovum not sepa- 
rated, then tampon might be applied till uterus is dilated, 
giving ergota and keeping up abdominal compression and 
frictions to keep uterus contracted ; quiet necessary in both 
oases. 

Postpartum: head low, in horizontal position ; abso 
jute quiet ; cool air ; acidulated drinks ; ergota hypoder- 
mically or per orem • grasp the uterus through the ab- 
dominal walls and compress it ; introduce the left hand 



Obstetric Department. 81 

into the uterus and then compress it against the right from 
without; compress uterus against the sacrum, iiium or 
pubes ; compress abdominal aorta / ice-water douche to ab- 
domen ; clap towels wrung from ice- water upon abdomen ; 
electricity, continuous current ; transfusion ; ice placed to 
the os through the vagina; never tampon. 

Collapse, or Syncope, from haemorrhage : quiet; head 
low; stimulants guardedly, as brandy, egg-nog, milk, 
punch, strong coffee with opii tr. ; compression of arteries 
of extremities in order to throw the blood more into the 
heart, brain and lungs. 

Puerperal Convulsions: venesection; chloroform; 
chloral potassic bromide ; purgatives ; veratrum viride ; 
morphiae sulpnas ; hot pack ; hasten delivery ; prevent 
patient from injuring tongue and lips by inserting cork, 
or piece of soft wood, between the teeth. 

Forceps: in lower strait, to be applied to sides of the 
child's head. 1. If rotation has not occured, rotate. 2. 
If occiput to pubes, traction to be downwards, outwards, 
upwards over pubes. 3. If face to pubes, traction dowtr 
wards, outwards, and finely upwards over pubes. 

In superior strait : to be applied with reference to the 
mother, i. e. f to the sides of the pelvis. 1. Rotate the head 
to its nearest position. 2. Flex chin upon the breast. 3» 
Then traction, rotation and extension in conformity to 
the natural motions of the passage of a child. The fe- 
male blade should be introduced first. The introduction 
Should be between pains, desisting as soon as they come on- 

Intersio Uteri : replace at once, which is then easily 
done ; if placenta slightly separated, do not detach till 
reposition is achieved ; retain hand in uterus till it has 
contracted quite firmly, to prevent recurrence; ergota, 
cold douche, and electricity to favor contraction ; keep 
strict dorsal decubitus and abdomino-muscular rest for 
several days. 

Lacerated Perineum : avoid, so far as possible, by 
!• Having patient assume the 'anatomical" positi/y 



82 Obstetric Department. 

II. By supporting the perinaeum and so direct the head 
up over the pubes. III. By inserting finger in anus and 
drawing this and the perinaeum forward. IT. Holding 
head back during a strong pain, and then, in the interval 
succeeding, gradually push the rima vulvae back over the 
head. Surgically treat by serre-ftnes or introducing the 
requisite number of silver sutures to secure intimate co- 
aptation of the parts at once, unless health or accidental 
circumstances necessiate the delay. The knees of the 
patient should be bound together, and the thighs kept 
coapted during healing. 

Vagina : haemorrhage rarely severe ; pieces of ice, or 
mild styptics, generally suffice ; a tampon may be applied 
for a short time. 

Vulva : frequent, but not generally severe ; if into the 
"bulb," haemorrhage often alarming; a stream of cold 
water, or ice, or cotton dipped in ferri subsulphatis liquor, 
should be applied to the vessels ; coaptation of the thighs 
and quiet necessary. Be careful of rectal action in all 
these cases. 

Always empty the bladder and rectum before any 
obstetric " operation." 

Dilatation of 2 inches for extraction of placenta, 2% 
inches for introduction of hand, required.

"Visceral Measurements, etc. 

THE HEART. 

Regional Anatomy : extends transversely from one- 
half inch to right of sternum to within one-half inch of 
left nipple ; vertically from, and including, the second to 
the fifth intercostal space, the auricles being on a line 
with the third costal cartilages, and extending a little 
above and below them. 

Measurements : longitudinally, 5 inches ; transverse- 
ly, from median line to the left, on third rib, 2% to S 
inches : on fourth rib, 3>£ to 4 inches ; on fifth rib, 3 to 3X 
inches. Extends % inch to right of dextral border of 
sternum. 

Valves : aortic, behind sternum, near left edge, and 
in line of third intercostal space; mitral, behind left 
fourth costal cartilage near sternum ; pulmonary, behind 
left third costo-sternal articulation ; tricuspid, behind 
center of sternum on line of fourth costo-sternal articula- 
tior. 

Area Percussional Dullness : superficial, triangular, 
apex below left third costo-sternal articulation, the base 
on line with sixth costal cartilage ; does not exceed 2 in. 
in any direction. Deep, (brought out by strong percus- 
sion) corresponds to cardial measurements, the central 
portion being the area of" superficial dullness." 

Murmurs : aortic, whole length and (upper part) width 
sternum. Only murmur that is propagated into the 
carotids. If "obstructive," is heard with first sound of 
heart, maximum intensity being heard at second dextral 
sterno-costal articulation. If "regurgitant," is diastolic 
maximum intensity at the same place as the "obstructive." 
Mitral, " obstructive " blubbering murmur just before the 
first heart-sound, maximum intensity being near apex 
beat ; is larger than any other murmur ; never heard at the 
back. "Regurgitant" takes the place of, or follows, first 
heart-sound, greatest intensity being at apex beat ; nearly

as intense between 5th and 8th vertebrae at the back. Pul- 
monic, are rare and are limited to a small circular area 
about th 3 region of the valves. Tricuspid, ' ■ regurgitant ' ' 
heard in a triangular area extending (and partially includ- 
ing) from the second to the fifth intercostal space, left side 
though rarely heard above third rib ; the base corresponds 
to line drawn from fifth left to fourth right intercostal 
space. Point of greatest intensity, near xiphoid cartilage, 
left side. Is a blowing murmur heard with, or taking the 
place of, the first heart-sound. Jugular pulsation patho- 
gnomonic when it can be detected. 
THE KIDNEY. 

Area op Percussional Dullness : patient should lie 
on the face ; the long diameter extends from the eleventh 
rib to the crest of the ilium, and measures 4 inches ; the 
transverse diameter measures 2 inches. 
THE LIVER. 

Area, or Percussional Dullness: extends from lateral 
jurface of eighth right rib obliquely upwards accross the 
shest to 2 inches beyond median line on level with the 
fifth intercostal space, measuring some 12 inches ; superi- 
orly it is limited by the fifth rib, inferiorly by the free 
borders of the lower ribs. At the right of the median line, 
in front, the transverse diameter of this area measures S 
inches ; on a line with the right nipple, 4 ; on the side, 4)£, 
on the back, 4. 

THE SPLEEN. 

Have patient lie on right side, When the superior bor- 
der will be found to be limited by the ninth rib ; the in- 
ferior, by free borders of the "floating" ribs; this gives 
the long diameter and measures between 4 and 5 inches. 
The short diameter varies from 3 to 4 inches.

« SHORT STOPS." 

Adhesive Plaster : remove the plaster sticking to the 
skin by wetting with a mixture of ol. terebinthinse and 
oL olivse, equal parts, afterwards washing off with soap. 

Alcoholism (acute) : emetic, or stomach pump ; cold 
douche to the head and breast ; warmth to feet and limbs ; 
artificial respiration (see page 62) may be demanded ; as 
soon as can swallow, lq. ammonii acetatisor aq. ammonise* 

An^estethics : all should be quiet; be sure patient's 
clothes are all thorougly unfastened ; never give in a sitting 
posture or upon a full stomach ; give slowly at first; should 
be given by competent persons. Pure chloroform leaves 
no odor after its evaporation. The following has been re- 
commended by the " London Committee " as the most 
desirable form for administration : Jfi. Alcoholici, portio I ; 
Chloroformi, portio II ; ^Etheris, portio III. Give on flan- 
nel stretched over a wire frame. Watch: pulse, respiration, 
and countenance. Signs of danger : spasms; lividity of 
face ; feeble or irregular pulse ; difficult breathing. Never 
give chloroform to a patient with fatty degeneration of 



Shobt Stops. 98 

the heart, with a constant tendency to syncope, or with 
a debilitated and deranged state of brain. Cold diet for 
24 hours after administration, to prevent sickness ; iced 
milk the best. A teaspoon ful of brandy j list before admi- 
nistration, will be found beneficial. 

'Local: Carbolic acid, 1 part to 20 of water, paint the 
part to be incised for 20 minutes, then apply the pure acid, 
it will not then destroy the skin. Incise immediately. Also 
ether spray or " freezing mixtures V may be used. 

Antiseptics tor Wounds : salicylic or carbolic acid ; 
comp. tr. benzoini; as stimulant , balsamum Peruvianum. 

Apncea : from drowning, hanging, ancesthetics, etc., see 
pages 62, 63. 

From foreign bodies in air passages: if round and 
smooth, invert the patient and strike on the back ; laryn- 
gotomy ; tracheotomy. 

Of the new-born : clean mucus out of noetrils and 
throat; catheterize the trachea, and suck up the mucus. 
" Marshall Hall's method," by placing child on abdomen, 
then bringing into lateral posture (see page 62), repeating 
slowly and deliberately. " Schulze's method," by placing 
the thumbs upon the ant. surface of thorax, the indices 
in the axillae, and the other fingers along the back, the 
face of the child being from you ; rotate the child, by 
swinging upwards, so that the inferior extremities turn 
over towards you. In a moment re-rotate to the original 
position. Do not support head or legs in the forward ro- 
tation ; their bending upon or towards the abdomen gives 
a forced expiration. 

Apoplexy: palliative, as horizontal position, with 
head raised, cool air, quiet, constriction of clothing re- 
moved; if stomach full, a non-depressing emetic; 2 or 3 
drops of ol. tiglii on the tongue, ui less there is anaemia, is 
good practice ; cold to the head in all stages. If from 
M shock," stimulating enemata and baths. " Bleeding ' ' is 
uncalled for save in unquestionable cases of congestion; 
where coma is profound, showing considerable haemor- 
rhage, do not ' ' bleed." Artificial respiration of use. 



H Short Stops. 

Bandage, Plaster : delay hardening by the addition 
of little size or stale beer to the mixture. Accelerate the 
hardening by the use of warm water and salt 

Burn3 : carbolic acid lotion ; $?. acidi tannici 9j ; 
chloroformi gtt. xx ; cerati simplicis 5j. M. Spread upon 
lint and cover the parts affected ; or, J&. liquoris calcis et 
olei olivae ana partes aequales, applying upon lint or linen ; 
poultice. , 

Convulsions— epileptic : unloosen patient's clothes; 
horizontal posture ; fresh air ; only a partial confinement 
of motions ; cold water sprinkled in face ; these will gen- 
erally be sufficient. 

2. Ursemic: hot air or vapor bath; active hydragogu e 
cathartics ; dry cupping ; hot applications to loins ; chlo- 
roform ; venesection (rarely). 

3. In children ; fresh air ; loosen clothing ; sprinkling 
cold water on face and chest ; place feet in hot water to 
which mustard has been added ; a general hot bath from 
5 to 15 minutes ; chloroform, withholding it as soon as 
spasmodic movements cease; emetics and cathartics if 
from stomachic or intestinal irritation ; lance the gums if 
from teething ; chloral and bromides internally. 

4. Hysterical : diagnose from other convulsions by sen- 
sibility being incomplete ; pupils undilated and responsive 
to light ; pulse normal ; no biting of tongue ; no lividity of 
face. Treat by loosening clothes thoroughly ; dash cold 
water on face and breast ; close mouth and nostrils firmly 
for a moment so the patient cannot breathe ; assafcedita, 
Valeriana or lq. am. acetatis may be given. 

Note.— In all cases of true convulsions place a cork, or 
piece of soft wood, or roll of cotton between the teeth of 
the patient, to prevent wounding of the tongue, lips or 
cheeks. It has been considered advantageous to place the 
patient upon the left side when convulsed. 

Epistaxis: keep head elevated and cool; make the 
feet and hands warm by plunging them into hot water; 
apply ice-water over the nose ; if alarming, resort at once 
to the tampon ; insufflations rarely beneficial. 



Short Stops. 95 

Fractures: simple into joints should be put up "with 
limb at most convenient angle, as anchylosis generally 
ensues. Compound into joints require exsection, if in the 
upper extremities, amputation if in the lower ; that is if 
they be important joints . Impacted should not have their 
fragments separated, hence be chary of manipulation. 
Simple, with lacerated arterial trunk, cut down and ligate 
above, not on, the seat of injury. 

Measuring the superior extremity for fracture ; I. extre- 
mity of acromian process to external condyle of hume- 
rus, (b). From tip of coracoid process to the inner condyle 
of humerus. II. From condyles of humerus to the styloid 
process of the ulna and radius. Lower extremity: Ant. 
sup. spinous process ilium to inferior border patella, push- 
ing the latter up as far as the ligament will allow (b\ 
Crest of ilium to top of trochanter major. (&). Patella (inf. 
border) to either of the malleoli, (c). Ant. sup. spinous 
process ilium to either malleoli. If a line be drawn from 
the anterior superior iliac spine to tuberosity ischii, a nor- 
mally placed trochanter major will just touch this line. 
(Nelaton's test line.) 

In warm- water treatment coat the member with oil so 
as to prevent too great swelling. Also clean off the pus, 
as it is apt to coagulate and so prevent a free discharge. 

frW" Always tendency of integument about a fracture 
to slough, hence see that your splints tre well padded, and 
do not press upon the seat of injury. 

Frostbite : keep all warmth away till natural warmth 
comes back ; frictions with snow or ice-water ; cold ene- 
mata of spirits or ammonia ; dry frictions. 

Haemoptysis : salt ; gallic acid ; plumbic acetate, or 
other astringents; inhalation of astringents from the 
atomizer ; nux vomica ; ergota ; plumbic acetate. 

Hemorrhage. 1. From teeth extraction : empty the 
sockets of all coagulum and plug with cotton, moistened 
with subsulphate of iron, over this apply a pad of dry 
cotton cloth and close the jaws firmly. 



96 Short Stops. 

2. Arterial: torsion; ligature; lq. ferri subsulphatis; 
actual cautery ; compression ; ice ; hot water. The last at 
100° to 115° applied continuously for 10 or 15 minutes, es- 
pecially applicable for uterine, or pelvic congestions. 

Heat: prolonged at 134° F. destroys tape-worm; at 
160°, trichinae. 

Insolation (sunstroke): (no hemiplegia); absolute rest 
and quiet ; free air ; loose clothes ; cold to head, chest and 
neck, as ice, douche, and sponging ; potassic bromide in 
cold water enemata; stimulants in frequent and feeble 
pulse; venesection only when full pulse, livid face, ster- 
torous breathing, throbbing carotids ; same as to use of ol. 
tiglii ; chloroform, if convulsious ; sinapisms. 

Lightning: recumbent posture; loosen clothing; 
stimulants, as ammonia, brandy, etc., by mouth or rectum; 
for "burns", see page 94; tonics and galvanism as 
" after-treatment." 

Ozone: $?. Potassii permanganates, 5j ; Acidi oxalici, 5j, 
moistened with twice the amount of water (by bulk), will 
omit ozone freely enough to ozonize a large room. The 
powder should be again moistened in two hours by a small 
amour t of water. 

Phlebotomy : select the cephalic or median-cephalic 
vein. 

Sea Sickness : Amyl nitrite, have 3 drops inhaled from 
handkerchief. Potossii bromide internally. 

Spectacles: use cobalt blue and not the green-glass 
spectacles, for cases of photophobia, or where strong light 
may prove injurious to the retina. 

Syncope: loosen clothes; fresh air; place patient in 
the horizontal posture with head low ; sprinkle cold water 
over the face, and apply volatile substances to the nose ; 
stimulants internally; artificial respiration; galvanizing 
^neumogastric. 

Temperature: average normal, of adults, 98.4° F. 
There is a diurnal variation of 1.5°, being highest in the 
evening. Exercise, climate, food and drink modify 
slightly, but a variation of 1.5° predicates disease. A rapid 



Short Stops. 97 

rise or fall is indicative of danger ; a gradual decline, oi 
convalescence. 106° may be considered the general limit 
at which adult patients may recover. In a child the nor- 
mal temperature is about 1° higher than in an adult, and 
in commensurate febrile disturbance a proportionate in- 
crease of temperature is noticed. The axilla, mouth, rec- 
tum and vagina are the points usually selected for taking 
the temperature, the thermometer being retained in sitd 
some 5 minutes. A rise of 1°, when above 100°, is con- 
sidered equivalent to an increase of 10 beats of the heart. 
Tracheotomy: (Laryngotomy cannot be performed 
on the young ; it is the opening of the crico-thyroid mem- 
brane. In adults it is generally preferable to T.) Make 
incision 2 inches long, in median line, through the super- 
ficial structures above the trachea, previously selecting a 
point \i inch below cricoid cartilage for opening the tube; 
if arterial haemorrhage, control by ligation or torsion be- 
fore opening the trachea ; if venous, need not mind it. 
Divide three or four tracheal rings, holding the cut edges 
asunder by tenacula, wire, silk, or catheter, till trachea- 
tube be at hand, having previously rolled the patient up- 
en the side to favor the escape of blood, mucus, etc.

.TO PHYSICIANS. 



Empty Gelatine Capsules 



We desire to call your attention to our IMPROVED 
EMPTY GELATINE CAPSULES, which we 
now manufa cture on an extensive scale. A separate and 
independent branch of our Laboratory, employing a large 
number of employes, and costly patented apparatus, is 
devoted exclusively to the manufacture of these articles, 
enabling us to supply them in any quantity, and at lowest 
prices. 

Our Capsule3 are now manufactured by means of 
improved apparatus, producing the most accurate and 
unvarying results. The gelatine employed is of finest 
quality, which, in our hands, undergoes a certain process, 
which increases its transparency and elasticity. Through 
these improvements in apparatus and material, we are 
enabled to manufacture Capsules which are uniformly 
accurate, transparent, elastic and permanent, in which 
properties they are excelled by none sold in the United 
States or Europe. 

We make five different sizes, which we describe as 
follows : 

No. 0— Largest- length closed, 9-10 in.' diameter, 5-20 in. 

Nc-1— Medium large— " " 8-10 in.— " 11-40 in.

Leonard's Uterometric Sound. 




This cut illustrates nicely a sound 
which we have devised, and one that we 
have found useful in many ways. The 
total length of the instrument is twelve 
inches ; the shaft is made of the hest un- 
tempered steel, and is flexible enough for 
use in any uterus. Instead of being 
marked in inches, as the ordinary sound, 
it has a sliding steel ribband, and the 
depth is read from the proximal end of 
this when the distal end of the ribband 
is against the os. 

The bougie a houle movable heads are 
made of German silver, and are in sizes 
from No. 11 of the French scale up to 
No. 24, corresponding to Nos. 7 and 16 of 
the American scale. 

As a diagnostic instrument it is to be 
found of the greatest value ; indeed, by 
no other instrument can the same defi- 
nite results be obtained. You can not 
only measure the length of the uterine 
canal, but can also definitely measure its 
diameter at all points, by the use of the 
different sized olive heads ; you can thus 
locate exactly any narrowing or stricture, 
and also at the same time determine the 
size and the length of the same, certainly 
an important desideratum before any 
operation is performed to relieve it. 

These bulbs are not only useful as a 
means for diagnosis, but also serve ex- 
cellently as dilators; you can readily 
change from the usual size, No. 11 or 12 
of the point, to one the next larger, and 
so on, till No. 18 or 20 is inserted in any 
nulliparous uterus and with but little dis- 
comfort to the patient; thus effectually 
relieving the dysmenorrhea dependent 
upon a narrowed canal. It is a much 
safer and less painful way than using 
tents.

A New Yaginal Speculum. 

By C. HENEI LEONAUD, M. D. 




The cut gives a view of the speculum when fully 
expanded. As now seen, the tips of the blades are 4% 
inches apart ; the inside measurement of the base of the 
blades being 2% inches. By the thumb screw attached to 
the lower blade, it (the lower blade) may be fixed at any 
point upon the perineal rods. When the base-extension, 
by the means of the perineal rods, is not made use of, the 
opening is then the same size as in the ordinary bivalve 



specula. When thus closed, and the superior blade is 
not elevated, the speculum is in form ready for intro- 
duction. The upper blade is 3^ inch shorter than the 
lower one, thus allowing an expansion of the blades 
without the rubbing of the upper one over an inflamed 
cervix uteri. The blades measure, from the attachments 
of the perineal rods, respectively 4>£ and 5 inches in 
length. The upper blade has a fenestra which admits the 
urethra, thus relieving all pressure upon this sensitive 
oreran when the perinseum is fully depressed. The 
lower blade also has a fenestra extending from its base to 
within an inch of its tip ; this allows an easy probing o f 
an anteflexed uterus, bent to an acute angle, the probe 
being allowed to press down the posterior vaginal wall, 
through this opening, until it can easily enter and traverse 
the distorted cervical canal. £; 

The blades are well rounded up, and so relieve an 
excessive stretching of the vagina at their sides 1 , thus 
making the instrument of easy introduction and painless 
to the patient. Indeed, every patient that 1 have used one 
upon (and Ihave used them in many cases, and in vaginas 
of all sizes, parties married and unmarried) has, upon 
questioning her in regard to the matter, declared that it 
gave her the least discomfort of any she had had introduced). 

You can make any operation upon the uterus or the 
sides of the vagina with this instrument ; and by its use 
you may dispense with an assistant. When the perineal 
rods are used it is essentially a Sim's Speculum, only 
a self-retaining one. It may be used with the patient on 
the back, or in the " Sim's position ", at the option of the 
operator. 

Each instrument is made in the highest style of the 
art possible, and is finished, in full, in heavy nickel- 
plate, and will be warranted perfect in its action.

three and ttrree-fourths by seven and one-fourth inches in size, and 
is bound in full Russia leather, with flap, pocket, pencil-loop, red 
edges and gilt side stamp. The regular price of such a styled book is

NORWEGIAN 

Cod Liver Oil 

Is made with scientific care, at a low temperature, in order 
to insure its paleness, sweetness, and freedom from unpleas- 
ant flavor. It contains less fats or stearine, and is there- 
fore digested by delicate stomachs, which cannot tolerate 
the coarser oils which are put on the mark et. Each bottle 
contains a full pint. None genuine without our firm name 
blown in the bottle.

Emulsion of NORWEGIAN Cod Liver Oil, 

with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. 
Ferrated JfORWEGIAN Cod Liver Oil. 

In each of these preparations we hope to fill a desidera- 
tum long felt by the professional public. Often the mineral 
foods are as essential in the building- up of scrofulous or 
strumous constitutions as the Cod Liver Oil itself, and in 
these preparations you have the Mineral foods pleasantly 
emulsified with the Oil, thus rendering the whole palatable, 
as well as nutritious and curative. The Iodine and the 
other curative properties inherent in the free Oil, are in no 
wise impaired by this process ; and the Oil itself is rendered 
more digestible, from its combination with Lactic Acid 
(one of the important ingredients of the digestive fluids 
of the stomach), in the case of the LACTO-PHOSPHATE 
combination. Of the beneficial effects of Phosphorus in 
strumous cases, where Cod Liver Oil is indicated, it is un- 
necessary to speak.

PHOSPHORUS PILLS. 

-)o( 

The value of phosphorus in the human economy has 
been shown by the researches of distinguished chemists 
within the past twenty years to be much greater than was 
formerly supposed. It has also been shown, without the 
shadow of a doubt, that all operations of the mind, 
whether caused by mental labor, by reflex action of the 
nervous organism, by fatigue or care, consume phosphorus 
and remove more or less of it from the system. When 
these processes become abnormal, either because the braiti 
is unduly exercised through long continued mental exer- 
tion, or weakened through sexual or solitary excesses, 
phosphorus is eliminated in unusual quantities. Unless 
this waste is repaired the brain is soon weakened, and the 
damage done is irretrievable. How to restore phosphorus 
to the brain has long been a. problem to our ablest practi- 
tioners, and among the multitude of expedients, all appar- 
ently worthy of consideration, the skill of the chemist is 
taxed to decide which is most worthy of confidence. 

We have for many years been supplying this element to 
the profession in the form of pills, which seem to obviate 
the objections to the other forms of administration now in 
use. They are 

ABSOLUTELY PROTECTED FROM CHAM 

BY THE SUGAR-COATING, 

itself a powerful deoxidizing agent. They are easy and 
pleasant to administer, prompt in their action, and 
probably introduce the element into the system in the best 
form for speedy absorption. 

WE INVITE THE ATTENTION OF PHYSICIANS 

to our pills of phosphorus both alone and in combination, 
which we believe are worthy of confidence. We shall not 
extol their merits in fancy ink or type, knowing that if we 
could for a. moment desire to do so, our patrons are far too 
intelligent to be deceived by such devices. We ask only a 
careful comparison of our products with those of other 
manufacturers, believing that such a test is the best 
advertisement we can desire.

NEW REMEDIES. 



*l We make a specialty of introducing New Remedies to 
the profession. We have agents continually wording for 
us in this and other lands, whose business it is to report 
to us any new articles wnieh are 



Worthy of Examination. 



We are constantly publishing circulars giving the 
botanical history and therapeutical application of these 
New Remedies, with reports from physicians who have 
actually used them in their practice. These remedies are 
placed in the market 



UNPROTECTED BY ANY PATENT, 



Copyright or Trade Mark, our sole object being to secure 
for ourselves the reputation of being the most enterprising 
house in the United States in this special line of 
research. 



Caution.— It frequently happens that immediately 
after a new remedy has been placed on the market by us, a 
spurious article, bearing the same name, but very different 
from the genuine drug, appears from some other source. 
We need only call attention to the recent compound of 
strychnia sold extensively as " Fluid Extract of Cascara 
Sagrada," until the fraud was exposed by us, to impress 
upon druggists the importance of securing these new 
remedies from ourselves, or from some other reputable 
source of supply.
